    Detailed Description of the Invention
  • Technical solutions according to examples of the present invention will be clearly illustrated in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described examples are only partial examples of the present disclosure, but are not all examples. According to the examples of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can obtain other examples without creative labor, which belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, a method for anonymous dating is provided according to an example of the present disclosure. The method applies to a system for anonymous network dating. The system for anonymous network dating may be based on instant messaging or an anonymous Email. The method includes the following procedures.
  • At block 101, dating information is received, which is transmitted by a dating information sender. An account of the dating information sender is encrypted.
  • During an encrypting process, a network address and the account of the dating information sender may be encrypted at the same time, and/or the account of the dating information sender is encrypted according to a DES encryption algorithm.
  • At block 102, the sender is paired randomly in the system for anonymous network dating. According to a pairing result, information of a dating information receiver is determined.
  • For example, random pairing is performed according to a keyword of personal information of the sender and the receiver. The receiver is a user that agrees to receive the anonymous dating information. Information of the receiver has been stored in a database in the system for anonymous network dating. For one user, the user may be the dating information sender, may also be the dating information receiver.
  • Methods for random pairing may be any one of the following methods, but may be not limited in the following methods: 1. pairing users in close regions; 2. pairing users whose birthdays are close to each other; 3. pairing homosexual or heterosexual users; 4. pairing users in a same age range; 5. pairing users having a same interest; 6. a method that mixes any two or more methods above. That is, the users may be paired according to a keyword of personal information such as social information related with the users, wherein the keyword of the personal information may include such as a region, a birthday, a gender, an age, an interest and so on.
  • The pairing methods above are based on an information matching degree of the dating information sender and the dating information receiver. In an example, in a drift bottle dating system, the sender transmits the dating information. One or more dating information receivers may be selected according to a region where the information receiver locates. After receiving the dating information, the one or more information receivers may choose to ignore the dating information or to respond the dating information. In another example, in the dating system such as marriage seeking system, according to a gender, an age and other pairing requirements, a user that has a different gender but in the same age range with the sender may be selected out as the receiver. Moreover, in the pairing processing, a privacy level may be further considered. Information for pairing may be different for users with different privacy levels. For example, if certain users may not agree to adopt personal information such as the gender and the age for pairing, the personal information not agreed by the users for pairing may not be adopted for pairing with other users so as to reduce possibility of leaking information.
  • At block 103, the dating information after the account is encrypted is transmitted to the dating information receiver.
  • In order to improve security of the user's account, in addition to encrypt the user's account, the network address of the dating information sender may be encrypted. That is, at block S103, the network address of the dating information, sender is further encrypted.
  • A way for encrypting the information above such as the account may through the DES encryption algorithm (which is a symmetric cryptosystem, and is also called as a US Data Encryption Standard). In the condition that a digital sequence number is taken as the user's account, the DES encryption algorithm may be adopted, and version information may be added to an encryption result so as to upgrade and update the algorithm.
  • In an example of the present disclosure, as the account of the dating information sender is encrypted, the user of the receiver randomly paired with the sender may not obtain the account of the sender. Thus, it is avoided that the receiver obtains information of the dating information sender through the account, e.g., an instant messaging number, an IP address, an age, an address, a telephone number and a gender and privacy protection is improved in the anonymous dating system. In an example of the present disclosure, dating pairing is performed in a manner of random pairing so as to reduce possibility of repetition of users' dating objects.
  • Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, a system for anonymous network dating is provided according to an example of the present disclosure, which includes a network server 1 and a client 2 of a dating information receiver.
  • The network server 1 is to encrypt an account of a dating information sender, perform random pairing for the dating information sender in the system for anonymous dating, determine information of the dating information receiver according to a pairing result, and transmit to the dating information receiver the information after the account is encrypted.
  • Methods for random pairing may be any one of the following methods, but may be not limited in the following methods: 1. pairing users in close regions; 2. pairing users whose birthdays are close to each other; 3. pairing homosexual or heterosexual users; 4. pairing users in a same age range; 5. pairing users having a same interest; 6. a method that mixes any two or more methods above. That is, the users may be paired according to a keyword of personal information such as social information related with the users, wherein the keyword of the personal information may include such as a region, a birthday, a gender, an age, an interest and so on.
  • The pairing methods above are based on an information matching degree of the dating information sender and the dating information receiver. In an example, in a drift bottle dating system, the sender transmits the dating information. One or more dating information receivers may be selected according to a region where the information receiver locates. After receiving the dating information, the one or more information receivers may choose to ignore the dating information or to respond the dating information. In another example, in the dating system such as marriage seeking system, according to a gender, an age and other pairing requirements, a user that has a different gender but in the same age range with the sender may be selected out as the receiver. Moreover, in the pairing processing, a privacy level may be further considered. Information for pairing may be different for users with different privacy levels. For example, if certain users may not agree to adopt personal information such as the gender and the age for pairing, the personal information not agreed by the users for pairing may not be adopted for pairing with other users so as to reduce possibility of leaking information.
  • It can be seen from the example above that, information of a large number of users is stored in the network server 1. The information representing a user's personal attribute may be used for pairing between different users. The server may transmit the dating information according to the pairing result. Different users may agree to use different personal information for anonymous dating. When performing the pairing, the server may pair users according to information agreed to be used for pairing by the users.
  • The client 2 of the dating information receiver is to receive the dating information after the account is encrypted, only display the dating information. Since the account of the sender is encrypted, the client of the receiver may not decrypt and display the account. Thus, only the dating information transmitted by the sender is displayed, e.g., a network message, a picture, an audio and an audio and video link.
  • The system for anonymous network dating may include multiple clients. The clients may be as dating information senders, also as dating information receivers. A user may run a client to log in the dating system through a certain account. The client transmits dating information to the server. The server obtains the personal information of the account according to the received dating information and the account of the sender, transmits the dating information to other users through pairing.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, in the system, although a line between the network server and the client of the dating information receiver is a solid line, it may not mean that the two may only be connected via a wired network. The client may be installed in a device such as personal computer, a mobile terminal. The network server and the dating information receiver may be connected via a wired and wireless network. Moreover, although one network server and one client of the dating information receiver are shown in FIG. 2, the system may include multiple network servers and multiple clients of dating information receivers in another example. The example in FIG. 2 cannot be limitation for examples of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a network server according to an example of the present disclosure. The network server applies to a system for anonymous network dating, wherein the system for anonymous network dating may be based on instant messaging or an anonymous Email. The network server may include: an encrypting module 10, to encrypt an account of a dating information sender; a pairing module 12, to perform random pairing for the sender in the system for anonymous network dating, determine information of a dating information receiver according to a pairing result; a transmitting module 14, to transmit to the dating information receiver the dating information after the account is encrypted. In the example, the receiver may be a user agreeing to receive the anonymous dating information. The information of the receiver is stored in a database. A user may be the sender, may also be a receiver.
  • In an example of the present disclosure, a receiver cannot directly see an account after the account is encrypted. Thus, the receiver cannot perform searching according to the account, so as to avoid leaking privacy of the dating information sender.
  • In order to improve security of the user's account, in addition to encrypt the user's account, the network address may further be encrypted. That is, the encrypting module 10 is further to encrypt the network address of the dating information sender.
  • A way for encrypting the information above such as the account may through the DES encryption algorithm (which is a symmetric cryptosystem, and is also called as a US Data Encryption Standard). In the condition that a digital sequence number is taken as the user's account, the DES encryption algorithm may be adopted, and version information may be added to an encryption result so as to upgrade and update the algorithm.
  • In the system for anonymous dating according to an example of the present disclosure, as the account of the dating information sender is encrypted, the user of the receiver randomly paired may not obtain the account of the sender. Thus, it is avoided that the receiver obtains the information of the dating information sender through the account, e.g., an age, an address, a telephone number and a gender, and privacy protection is improved in the anonymous dating system.
